Bogus Epileptic Fits

Epileptic fits are often stimulated by
beggars to excite sympathy, and by
prisoners TO avoid work. A few years ago
a combination of a peculiar kind was dis
covered. This consisted of one man who
initiated an epileptic attack while his con-
federates picked the pockets Of the spec
tators, whose attention was directed TO.
ward the man in apparent convulsions,
Some Of these limitations are artistically
done; the cry at the outset of the TT, the
fall and violent convulsions, together
with frothing at the mouth and the un-
consciousness which should follow real
attack are well simulated. The absolute
insensibility to pain can hardly be imi-
tated. The French police generally de-
t9ct the simulators by forcing the point
of the thumb nail under that Of the sus-
pected dissimulator. This is actually
painful TO one who has his senses. while
il can do no harm il the case is one OF
genuine epilepsy. In the real disease, the
pupils of the eyes become widely dilated
when the attack begins; the upper half Of
the face is very pale; and there Is short
period IA few seconds) when all the
muscles of the body are rigid before they
are alternately contracted and relaxed in
the fully developed iii. These symptoms
cannot be feigned, no matter how well

October trade in some branches and

The OrlOff Diamond.

This magnificent gem, which in its
rough state formed the eye of an idol in
a temple near Trichinopoli, was stolen
by Frenchman, who escaped with his
prize to Persia, and who, fearful of be
inc discovered, was glad to dispose of his
lll-gotten gear for sum of about G2, 000
The man who bought the stone, a Jewish
merchant sold it to one Shafras, an as
tute Armenian for e12, 900. Shafras had
conceived the idea that by carrying the
stone to Russia he would obtain from
the Empress Catharine the Great a
princely sum for it. How to travel, IN
safety with the stone, the theft of which
had of course been discovered and pro-
claimed, became q grave consideration
1t was too large to swallow, and no mode
of concealment presented itself to Shat
ras that seemed secure from discovery.
The way in which he solved the pro-
blem was remarkable. He made a deep
incision in the feshy part of his left leg,
in which he inserted the stone, closing
the wound carefully Ivy sewing it up
with silver thread. When the wound
healed the Armenian merchant set out
on his travels quite boldly and although
more than once apprehended, vigorously
searched, and even tortured little, he
was obduratc, and firmly denied having
the stone his possession Having at
length reached his destination he asked
from the Eiafe~s the sum of $40, 600
for the gem, an amount of money which
Catharine was unable to raise atssthe mo
ment. We next find the Armenian at
Amsterdam with the intention Of having
his diamond cut. Here the stone was
seen bv Count Orlotf, who determined
to purchase it for presentation to his
royal mistress, Empress Catharine. The
sum ultimately paid for the gem was
about e7O, 900 sterling in cash, together
with an annuity of $500 and apatent Of
nobility shafras flourished exceedingly
and died a millionaire. Such in brief,
is the story of the Orloif diamond.

A GEORGIA JUDGES STORY.
How N ar He Came to killing His Host
in Fear for His Own Life
[From the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer I

From the Columbus (Ga Enquirer
1t is well known that Judge Allen,
while he was upon the bench, was slow
to accept circumstantial evidence in
criminal cases as conclusive, until it was
cOrrObOrated beyond all peradventure.
Few people knew the reason why, but
we heard 1t from his own lips. At the
time of the occurrence he was Presiding
Judge of the Southern Circuit, if we
are not mistaken. At his home in De-
catur county, some years after he had
retired from the bench, he related his
experience. He said:
In those days it was quite different
from what it is now. remember once,
while riding my circuit, as it was calle I,
that | met with an experience that made
deep impression upon me. l had rid
den all day and into the night, when [
drew up at an uninvitIng house and
asked to spend the night. The man
grutfly told me I could do so, and was
almost sorry that he had not SAID no.
On entering the house l went into a
room alone, and heard low, mutterine
voices in the next room The situation
was anything but agreeable, and nv
Speculations as to the surroundings,
made it exceedingly unpleasant. But
bedtime came and | was invited up a
ricbety flight of stairs and into a room
in the left of the house Iretired, but
not to sleep. The mumbling voices
could still be heard, and a red handed
murder stared me in the face. About
midnight l heard some one creeping up
the stails, and in a moment the door to
my room was quietly pushed open. In
the door stood man with butchers
knife in his hand. l had taken the pre-
caution to get out of the bed and had
taken up my position under it when 1
heard him coming, resolved to sell my
life as dearly as possible. l held a pis-
tol in my hand, but some influence kept
me from firing. Presently the man
walked easily. with a cat like tread, to
the further corner of the room, and
with the long knife cut something sus-
pended from the roof, and as quietly
stole back and down stairs"
"But you solved the mystery ~ we
queried.
ooh, yes. The next morning I was
invited into the breakfast room. and for
the first time saw the lady of the house
She excused herself for her absence on
the night before by saying that their
little daughter was on what they thought
to be her deathbed. She apologized
for the want of attention to me, and
said that her husband was forced to go
into my room in order to get soma
herbs with which to make medicine for
the sick child, and which they had for
gotten to get before night. What If
had shot and killed that man Q ItmaL<ea
me shudder to think of it."

HE BEARS THE MARK OF CAIN.
Tortures Undergone by n Man Who KILLED
His Brother.
rFrom the Murphy On. c. Bulletin. ]

from the Murphy On. CO. Bulletln.I
A few days ago we met Henry Morti-
mer, once a citizen of Murphy, but now
| a man of no fixed abode-a Verltable
wanderer on the face OF the earth. Old
| residents of the county who remember
him as a thrifty Young lanter, tail,
stalwart and energetic, would not recog--
nize him in the hesitating, decrepld
man we met. He bears the supposed
mark of Cain. In his youth he had
thick head of hair and handsome
bushy heard Now there IS not single
hair on his body.
In 1914 Henry's father removed to
this county from Virginia. lie was a
man of wealth, owning scores OF slaves,
and was widely respected for his up,
r1ghtness. He was well educated ana
was said to possess the finest library IN
Western Carolina When the war broke
out all of his property was swept away
and he died just before the surrender,
leaving his wife and two little Ones
Henry and Edward, to battle their way
In the world alone They were ABOUT
eight and ten years of age, respectively
when their father died, and with proper
care and training would have undoupt-
eddy made good and useful clt4zens; out
their mother taught them to nate every
body and imp essed on them that every
body was their enemy She made them
go armed, and when one of them was
fined for CARRYING concealed weapons
she paid the fine imposed, bought him
pair of pistols and told him to wear
them buckled around his waist and use
Thorn bnD nc +bnuob+
The young men grew UP together,
married and settled on their fathers
plantation. zach bad built him house,
and they were in PROSPEROUS circumstan-
ces. One day Henry went over to his
brothers house to collect a small sum of
money which was due him There was
a quarrel. Henry vowed that he would
kill his brother, and meeting him on the
following day he shot him dead before
his mothers eyes.
Henry Mortimer was arrested, tried
and acquitted, his mother being the only
witness in the case. And now comes
the strongest part of this story. Shortly
after he was acquitted, and just after he
had retired for the night, the murder
was visited by his dead brother. He
could see and hear him, but he himself
could not move or speak. He lay as if
dead in a passive state. His brother
visited him the second time, reached
out his skeleton arm and commenced
plucking the hairs by one from
his head; then he pulled out his eye
brows, eyelashes, beard and so on, until
he had plucked every hair off his entire
body. 1t was not done in one night,
but was kept up from night to night for
a period of abont three months. Soon
afterwards he left the country, and is
now rarely seen. He travels by night
and avoids his fellowmen.
